Babbs has achieved a svelte 15 pounds! Those of you who don't know Babbs may be asking at this point, "15 pounds?! What does she feed her, butter??" while those of you who do, and who knew her at 18 pounds, are surely marveling at this miraculous accomplishment. What is this new, more cat-shaped Babbs like?
She plays with string. I don't know what television programs she has been watching or what magazines she has been reading to put the idea into her head. But the other day she expressed an interest in the waving end of my knitting yarn, and tonight she played with it for ten minutes straight. This is a fresh and shiny Babbs! 3 pounds obviously makes a difference in her quality of life, I'm guessing it is partly that I have cut back a little on how much I feed them (and I already feed them way less than the vet told me to when I adopted them, so don't go thinking I was stuffing them silly), and maybe also that I wait longer before putting out the dry food, but whatever I did I'm super glad! The cat pajamas are maybe a bit less uncomfy, and she will stay with me a little longer before returning to her home in outer space. Wild, crazy, beautiful cat-impostor! Take me to the moon!
